Frank Tribes

New Classic Pop Rock

About Me

Frank Tribes is a songwriter/performer based in Chicago. For several years prior to going solo in 2001, he was a member of the well established and eclectic Garden Bower, along with childhood friend, Rob Bochnik , a guitarist currently with the Frames. In 2002 he released his debut self-titled album, followed by his well- received 2nd album, “By All Means,” released in 2004. “GALLERY” is his new, 3rd album. It was recorded and co-produced with Ellis Clark (Epicycle, Kevin Tihista, Le Concorde.) The Beatles, Syd Barrett-Pink Floyd, Echo & the Bunnymen, David Bowie and Neil Young. Elements of such artists are borrowed, yet the songs make their own statement. Well crafted music, strong melodies and insightful lyrics come together in a unique way. It's classic pop rock by style, yet it sounds only like him. Many lovers of rock music will want to have this album among their collection.
